Check out this stunning European Robin! He’s perched on a diagonal branch speckled with pale lichen, looking super alert. The soft lighting highlights the vibrant saturation of his brilliant orange-red breast, making it glow like a little ember against his olive-brown wings and the deep, blurry green background.

The spring has sprung also here in southwestern Finland. This European Robin was spending quality time on a local small wildlife feeding place.

Fireworks in Southwestern Finland on the New Year's celebration. There are tall thin trees on the foreground, a blue sky with firework smoke visible and fireworks on the background behind a tree.

There are multiple light pillar halos visible on the dark blue night sky. In the foreground there are lots of trees, some buildings and a bright street light. This is long exposure image.

Two shots form the New Year's celebration in Southwestern Finland. Temperatures dropped quite rapidly during New Year's Eve which created perfect conditions for the light pillar halos visible in the second image.

A captivating night scene featuring a winding road illuminated by a series of bright, glowing lights that create mesmerizing light trails. The road curves gracefully through a forested area, with tall trees silhouetted against the dark sky. The foreground is moderately lit, revealing the texture of the trees and the surrounding landscape, adding depth to the image. Overhead, power lines stretch across the frame, adding a sense of scale and perspective. In the distance there is a warm, orange glow casting a soft, ethereal light over the entire scene. The overall composition balances the mysterious allure of the night with the limited visibility of the foreground.

Mahtinaisentie by night ✨ I took this image on 12.1.2020. I was curious to see how my post-processing skills have improved over the years, so I decided to redo it.

Pumpkin weeks are on. This is what's happening in Pumpkin Park after the people leave 👻🎃

A serene night scene featuring a path lined with tall birch trees, their white bark and sparse autumn leaves illuminated by a soft, warm light. The path leads into the distance, where there is a faint glow of a distant light source. Above, the dark sky is dotted with stars, and several vertical beams of light pierce the night sky, adding a mysterious and ethereal quality to the scene. Under the celestial canopy, a tranquil path beckons, flanked by ghostly birch trees and bathed in the glow of distant lights. Vertical beams of light pierce the starry night, creating a mystical and enchanting atmosphere that invites the viewer to embark on a journey into the unknown.

Pumpkin weeks are on again. The light pillars are part of a light show called "Valon Leikki" i.e. Play Of Light on and around Halikko church.

A long exposure shot of a natural scene featuring a stream flowing over moss-covered rocks. The rocks, varying in shades of green and brown, are partially submerged in the water. The water is smooth and silky due to the long exposure time. In the background, more rocks and patches of grass and small blue flowers add depth and color to the setting.

Silky water and foliage from Latokartanonkoski, one of my favorite local places to visit 🤩

A serene lakeside scene at sunset, with the sky painted in hues of orange and purple. The calm water reflects the vibrant colors of the sky and the surrounding trees. A row of small boats is docked along the shore, and the silhouette of a forest is visible in the background. The foreground features a rocky shoreline, adding texture to the tranquil landscape.

Teijo National Park at sunset. It's almost Midsummer. The nights here where I live won't get truly dark until August.

A sunset photograph from lake Matildanjärvi in Teijo national park that is located in southwestern Finland. On the front there is a pier with several small boats. The sunset on the top third of the image contains shades of blue, yellow and purple some if which are also reflected by the lake. A green forest is going across the image on the background.

It's been a while since I last visited Teijo National park. Went there yesterday to shoot the sunset.

Macro shot of a Suffolk lungwort flower with three blossoms. The topmost blossom is blue, the blossom below that is bluish purple and the one that is out of focus on the lower left corner is red. There is also a tiny yellow spider on the right edge of the top flower. The background is a nice green bokeh.

I took a walk around Vaisakko nature trail today. Here is a macro shot of a Suffolk lungwort flower with three blossoms. All three blossoms are a different color.

Newborn moss on the lower right corner of the image. Green bokeh on the upper left side and some focused branches on the top right side. Vivid green colors and brightly lit areas mixed with dark areas. The image has a lot of dynamic range and all in all a nice composure.

Spring, the magical time of the year when nature becomes alive again. This macro shot of newborn moss turned out nicely 💚

The setting sun is visible on the horizon above a small city. The sun is only partially visible, the rest of it being covered by layers of clouds. On the foreground is a top of a pine tree.

The setting sun yesterday became magical thanks to the layers of clouds partially covering it 🔥

Spring has finally arrived to Finland, also a nice sunset today

A night shot of a church main entrance with colorful lights projected on the surface. There are trees on the sides of the shot and a few stars are visible on the sky right above the church.

A throwback to pumpkin weeks 2024. One of the highlights of the event was the light show that was projected on the surface of a local church. In case you were wondering, there are no wire lights - everything is projected 📽️
